Chapter 103: Possession Ends, Awakening Ah Yin
A few days later, the instant Qi Tian possessed Ah Yin's body, he saw a sword light wrapped in flames stabbing straight toward him.
Right behind it came an arrow of icy soul power, its might barely inferior.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Tian's soul rapidly communicated with Ah Yin's.
"Ah Yin, what happened? How did you end up fighting the Pope of Spirit Hall?"
When Qi Tian had possessed Bibi Dong, he had met Qian Xunji and the mother of Qian Renxue, so he recognised the two attackers at once.
"It was Tang Hao who lured Spirit Hall here, and he's following behind, trying to kill me!" Ah Yin answered.
Qi Tian frowned. Even a frown on Ah Yin's face looked like a painting of Xi Shi in distress; it was a pity no one was there to appreciate it.
"So what do we do now?"
Ah Yin replied, "It's fine. Just keep the domain active—they can't kill me!"
"I want to fake my death, let Tang Hao and the Pope fight each other, then find a chance to escape!"
Qi Tian exhaled in relief. Good—she had a plan. "Alright, then let's 'die' once!"
Ah Yin felt a little guilty and stammered, "But using this skill requires recovery time… it will delay my cultivation."
"How much longer can your soul endure? Will I be too late to save you?"
"Haha, don't worry. Have you forgotten why I came back to this era?" Qi Tian said, somewhat awkwardly.
"As long as you're safe, I'm content!"
He had never imagined his casual lie would affect Ah Yin so deeply. She really was too trusting.
Even if his words had been true, there was no way Ah Yin could become a god under the current rules of Douluo Star.
These days, Douluo Star had far too many restrictions. Without inheriting a divine position, ascending to godhood was nothing but a pipe dream.
Unless Douluo Star absorbed other free-floating planes or severed the God Realm's drainage, Ah Yin might reach level 100 at best, like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Alright. From now on, sleep more often so you don't damage your soul!"
Ah Yin was even trying to persuade him now—she truly was too kind.
Their souls conversed for what felt like ages, yet only an instant passed outside. In that instant, the ice arrow had already arrived.
Ah Yin's body suddenly dispersed, turning into countless strands of Blue Silver Grass that scattered across the mountains and fields, vanishing without a trace.
While using the skill, Qi Tian gained some insight; perhaps this could be used to resurrect himself when he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor spirit in the future.
"That soul beast is clearly died… where are her spirit ring and spirit bone?" Qian Xunji stared at the scene in astonishment.
"Could it be a spirit skill? The same kind Dong'er has?" the woman beside him asked.
Bibi Dong had absorbed the Death Spider Emperor's 100,000-year spirit ring and gained true immortality; she had not hidden this from them.
Before the two could investigate further, a violent surge of soul power erupted behind them.
Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer, combined with Tang Hao's Killing God Domain, smashed straight through the defensive line of Spirit Hall's guardian elders.
With Soul Douluo cultivation and the Killing God Domain, even Yang Wudi could hold his own against Serpent Spear Douluo—let alone Tang Xiao wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.
At this moment, Qi Tian and Ah Yin had already turned into a single strand of Blue Silver Grass.
A sudden thought struck Qi Tian: his Sea-Stabilising Pearl phantom could not teleport living beings through space-time, but surely it could teleport a plant?
Right now, Ah Yin was no longer human—she had reverted to Blue Silver Grass.
Given time, she would fully recover.
While watching the clash between Clear Sky Hammer and Six-Winged Angel, Qi Tian silently called to the phantom of the Sea-Stabilising Pearl.
Whether because the Clear Sky Hammer was too domineering or because some mysterious force from the God Realm interfered, Spirit Hall was actually being suppressed.
Far behind, Bai Yan carried her child and kept searching for traces of Ah Yin.
She had no idea the infant in her arms had grown extremely weak from infection and lack of food.
She was completely unaware that a foreign soul from another world had entered the child's body and was pushing aside the original soul.
"Master, where are you? Your disciple has come to save you!"
"If you don't want to be killed by them, you can sacrifice your spirit ring to me. I'll find a way to avenge you later!"
Bai Yan used her Blue Silver King spirit to sense Ah Yin's location and transmitted her thoughts.
She could feel Ah Yin was still alive and believed that, given a little time, she could find her.
Just then, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's massive Clear Sky True Bodies smashed off several wings of the six-winged angel.
Bai Yan's eyes gleamed. A Titled Douluo! If she could absorb even a fraction of his cultivation, she would be set for life.
At that moment, no one noticed a faint five-coloured light flash across the mountain.
The five-coloured light concealed all perception; the fighters nearby remained oblivious to what was happening inside it.
...
Year 2642 of the Douluo Calendar, dozens of miles outside Blue Silver Forest, in an unnamed woodland.
[Congratulations, Host. Ah Yin's fate has been reversed. The possession mission of Ah Yin has ended.]
[Mission Reward: Blue Silver Emperor Spirit] has been issued.
Qi Tian's divided soul returned to his main body. Seeing the system notification, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He had successfully brought Ah Yin into the Sea-Stabilising Pearl.
At this moment, Ah Yin, in her Blue Silver Grass form, was growing peacefully inside the imitation Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes within the pearl.
But Qi Tian had no time to worry about her right now—the system rewards were being distributed.
Zhu Zhuqing sensed something unusual and immediately stopped cultivating, standing guard beside him.
Qi Tian sat cross-legged on the ground and released his Blue Silver King spirit, which began evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor.
All the Blue Silver Grass and plant-type soul beasts across the mountains and plains felt their king evolving and offered their strength.
Qi Tian did not refuse. He used his Blue Silver Domain to accept their tribute while sending back a trace of Blue Silver Emperor aura, allowing them to comprehend and seek their own evolutionary path.
Soon, the silver patterns on Qi Tian's Blue Silver Grass spirit turned golden.
His Blue Silver Domain also evolved; countless golden threads spread outward, seemingly able to draw life force from both people and plants.
At the same time, the soul imprint in Qi Tian's fourth spirit ring slowly emerged.
A black jade bamboo spirit hatched, appearing in his Blue Silver Domain and conveying simple joy to Qi Tian.
It was only a soul beast of several tens of thousands of years; it lacked the intelligence of the Blue Silver King or other hundred-thousand-year beings and could only express itself this way.
Qi Tian responded gently, not rushing to test its abilities.
The most urgent matter was to wake Ah Yin.
If she awoke in an unfamiliar place, she might panic and think something had happened to him.
He had already deceived her too much—he owed her that much. He had to wake her quickly and explain everything clearly.
Or… keep weaving another lie to fool her.
